Fluoride Supplement

A naturally occuring element like fluoride is capable to strengthen your teeth. At South Dental Associates, our dentists recommend several sources of fluoride to prevent the problem of tooth decay. Water is a natural source of fluoride. Food stuffs like fish, meat and egg contain fluoride in them.

However, not all of us follow a balanced food chart and that is why, some of us suffer from fluoride deficiency. This is in particularly seen among the children. Our dentists suggest prescription fluoride supplements for the patients.
